Alyssa remained astonishingly composed. She was the future heiress of the Taylor Group, and she
should be handling the humiliation with grace.
However, Jasper and Cyrus were visibly rattled, especially the former. As rage simmered in Jasper's
chest, his hand began to shake, and his expression hardened.
Noticing Jasper's change, Simon felt more emboldened, knowing that Jasper's hands were tied since
they were at the police station. "Mr. Beckett, you're a lucky man. Just send Ms. Alyssa on the mission if
you have trouble negotiating your deals. She'll charm the pants off any man, and you will secure any
business deal you want. Ouch—"
Just as Simon was enjoying the moment, he saw stars and felt sore in his nose. Then, he collapsed

Alyssa widened her eyes and shouted, "Jasper?" She stared blankly at his towering and intimidating
figure, her heart pounding against his chest.
Even Cyrus was momentarily thrown off guard. Simon had fallen on the ground before Cyrus even
noticed Jasper's attack. He was amazed by Jasper's speed and decided to check the surveillance
footage to learn from the latter.
"J-Jasper Beckett, how dare you assault me at a police station?" Simon pressed against his broken
nose as tears and blood trickled down his face. He threatened, "I'll sue you for assault! I will ... I will ..."
"But I'm beating up an animal, not a human." Jasper cracked his joints and stared icily at Simon. "Ah, I
shouldn't have compared you to an animal. To me, you're just a monster."
That sent Simon shaking in fear and anger. Still, this was the first time he encountered such injustice,
having lived a smooth sailing life as a renowned attorney and the son of the Lynch family.
He started yelling to attract the attention of the other police. "Jasper Beckett is abusing his power! He's
verbally humiliating and bullying a defenseless citizen in a police station, nonetheless!
"Jasper Beckett, you'd be gravely wrong to think you can do anything just because you're rich! Are you
holding the law and the justice system in contempt, assaulting me in a police station?"
"Listen well, Simon Lynch," Jasper growled, casting a penetrating gaze on Simon. "Feel free to come at
me if you're displeased, and I will deal with you. But speak ill of my woman again, and I'll make you
pay, even if I break the law. If this happens again, I'll rip that tongue out of your filthy mouth. Try me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSimon stared at him in disbelief as he stiffened. Alyssa gently held Jasper's hand and blew on his
knuckles while softly chiding him, "How hard did you hit him? Your hand's swollen."
"It's fine." He beamed at her, looking unbothered.
She locked eyes with him before turning to Simon. "Jasper, if you end up in jail because of this guy, I'll
give him a good beating, too. Life without you will be boring, so I'd rather join you in jail."
Cyrus stared at their weird flirtation in shock. Simon was equally stunned, feeling like a mere tool in the
couple's flirtatious exchange.
At that moment, the sound of uneven footsteps drew near. A man's voice boomed, "Jasper, what
exactly are you doing?"
Jasper looked up, his expression darkening.
